Please note: This course will not be added to Courses on Demand. Courses involving professional speakers and skills-based workshops generally do not get added to Courses on Demand.
Who should attend: All lawyers who want to increase their effectiveness: from those newly called who want to improve their confidence and self-possession to seasoned practitioners who want to enhance their skill set
Learning level: All levels
This program is designed to teach lawyers how to be more natural, believable, and self-possessed and to implement simple, concrete techniques that will maximize performance at trial, in mediation, at arbitration, and in any legal argument.
These skills will enable you to take your case beyond the traditional approach to trial advocacy and give you the critical persuasive edge. You will learn by doing as each participant will be given the opportunity to make a presentation and receive one-on-one feedback and helpful techniques for improving.
By the end of the workshop, you will possess the skills to make you a better lawyer—a lawyer who will win more arguments by making a positive connection with clients, jurors, and judges!
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course does not contain professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
